mothers and daughters

me and hannah four days old.

in celebration of five generations of mothers and daughters in my family. here are my three daughters. i never imagined how much they would capture my heart. it is a bittersweet year for me as a mother. my oldest is graduating and moving on to the next place in her life. she is ready to be on her own now and her life outside the nest is pulling at her. though i don't know what we will do without her. then my youngest will be starting first grade next year and for the first time in ten years i won't have one of my own children in my class.

olivia's picture and poem, mom her hair is softer than a hens feather.i love you all xo mom

Such sweet eyes on your great-grandmother, Frances. Filled, it looks to me, with all the wonder of what life could hold. It's a true miracle that though you never met her, her life was "handed down" through her daughter.

Happy Mother's Day. what beautiful pics of all the kids, but especially Marina! she's going to be a beauty. that drawing is the most precious thing i've seen (especially since it's about your beautiful hair!) thanks for sharing all the pictures.kecia
